Yuan Te, Jackie Chan's kung-fu classmate and Sammo Hung's fight coordinator on his Hollywood hit Martial Law, makes his acting debut in The Master as downtrodden kung-fu student Ko Chien, who saves the life of a kung-fu master (Chen Kuan-tai), who is being stalked by three killers. Te's kung-fu skills rival Jet Li's, which is why Jet used Te as his fight choreographer in his Hollywood hits Kiss of the Dragon and The One. (IVL)
